Currently, there are thirteen judges in regular active service and ten judges in senior status. The above order of precedence is used whenever the circuit judges' names are listed on an opinion, summary order, motion endorsement, memorandum, or other document. Judges of other courts sitting by designation in this court are listed after the circuit judges of this court. For three-judge panels, the active circuit judge with the highest precedence presides over the panel and is usually listed first (if a senior circuit judge is also a member of the panel, the senior judge will be listed first, provided his or her appointment date is earlier).
